In what is to be the year that I shed the monkey from my back and join the "half ton club" I selected an all star lineup to get the job done. Leading the pack, on top of my list and getting my prime spot is everyones favorite this year, the 1385 Jutras. The 1385 was the first to germinate and was looking good. Then disaster set in. A routine check of the hoop house revealed a 1385 that was weak and shriveled more than Rocky after he exits the river on one of his annual Polar Bear Club outings. It was a reminder of how fragile these young plants are. The following day after this photo was taken the plant was toast and out of the race. RIP 1385. Another one of my plants lost a Cot leaf after pushing through the soil but I am not giving up on it yet. So.. out of 5 all star plants there are 3 remaining that are at full strength. Their names have not been released to protect their identity until I am sure they are safe. With the loss of the 1385 it looks like Rocky has beaten me for another year. Congratulations Rock. You da man.
